Hugs Heels and High School (Hunger Games)

Chapter 2

" Katniss." Mrs. Trinket says shortly after the bell rings.

"I know. I'm going." I mutter getting up from my seat.

Peeta looks confused in the next seat over, but everyone else dismisses the fact that I go to the office every day during this class for my daily meeting.

once I enter the hallway and close the door I sigh.

I know it doesn't really matter what grades I get in school, but I still don't like the suspicion it brings whenever I leave randomly.

walking in the glass doors to the administration building I go straight to the left and then right to the headmaster' s office.

"good morning Katie." my father says when I walk in, gesturing for me to sit down.

"that's not my name and you know it." I stammer.

"sweetheart it's the name you born with. accept it. and you know I hate that stupid name you use." he hisses.

it's true. I took after my mother. her name is Paula Katniss Everdeen. this way I can keep my cover while still holding to a price of my mother I haven't seen since I was 7 years old.

"would you rather me walk around as Katie Snow?" I ask.

"well-"

"that was kind of a rhetorical question..." I whisper mainly to myself.

he sighs and folds his hands on his desk in a frustrated manner.

"Katie you know I just want what's best for you." he says frowning slightly.

" I know."

"so how are you? are you getting that new boy on your side yet? I'm just worried about you."

"yeah its fine. he's actually really nice." I say smiling to myself.

"he better be. don't give your trust away too easily Katie." he warns.

"i know." i repeat quietly.

"alright. just making sure. you can go back to class now." he says.

i hug him and grab my bag, walking back to the academics building.

stepping back into the door, everyone glances back but pays me no unnesecarry attention.

Peeta mouths to me "where'd you go?" and i tell him ill explain- or rather make up an excuse- later.

"everyone pass your homework from last class toward the bin in the back." Effie says writing some long equation on the board.

i didnt do my homework, i never do, but i get credit anyway because no teacher wants to get fired and murdered.

and yes, that actually happens in my family...

"Katniss! how do you solve the problem?" she asks in her shrill voice.

"i dont know." i say and she sighs before moving on.

"uhh, yes Peeta!" she says looking at him.

"umm..." he looks around nervously. "you subtract  -10 to the fith from both sides, and find the square root of the 2nd variable on the left and you're left with x = 75.63." he says like hes embarrased at answering the question.

"thats correct. thank you." Effie says happily that the new student actually knows something.

the bells rings and everyone gets up heading to their next destination.

this school is alot like a college with both the living and the schedules.

plus you have to have a stellar academic record to get in.
